Living Classroom: Marine Debris

Description

What is marine debris, and why is it so harmful? In this workshop, students will explore the various threats that marine debris poses to wildlife and people in and around the marine environment. Students will get the opportunity to collect some marine debris themselves, leaving the shoreline cleaner than when they arrived, and participate in a hands-on activity where they have the opportunity to learn, up close, about the different materials and products that make their way into the marine environment.

Each class is one hour in length.
Classes are conducted during the regular school day from our headquarters at the RISE Center, at 58-03 Rockaway Beach Boulevard.

Workshops address a variety of topics specifically designed for Pre-K-6 classes with lessons focused on marine science, climate change, migratory birds, and more! Each workshop involves hands-on activities to actively engage learners!
